Li'l Smokies

This is a classic family recipe that my sister Lindsey usually made.  

Li'l Smokies

1.75 pound Eckrich Li'l Smokies
18 oz jar grape jelly
12 oz jar Heinz Chili Sauce

Stir together jelly and Chili Sauce in a crockpot. Pour in the Li'l Smokies and stir until coated.  Cook on low until heated through.

Cheese Ball

I had a couple of recipes for cheese balls that I combined into a new recipe.

Cheese Ball

8 oz cream cheese
1 jar Old English spread cheese
2 cup shredded cheddar
1/2 sleeve ritz crackers
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
dash red pepper flakes

Use a hand mixer to mix the cream cheese and Old English, then mix in the shredded cheddar. Spoon into plastic wrap and form into a ball.  Refrigerate to set the shape. Crush the ritz crackers and blend with parmesan and red pepper flakes.  Place the crumb mixture in a pan with edges and set the cheese ball on top. Roll in the crumbs until well coated. Serve with crackers or vegetables.
